AFRI-TUNES WEEK 75 --- IRE (Cover)

It's yet another week of participation and I'm so thrilled to be here with you all this week.

A big hello to everyone on this amazing platform and I hope we're all doing well. I'd be presenting a song titled IRE by Adekunle Gold. Ire Is a Yoruba language that means Goodness.

Lately, I've been really thinking of alot of things and I must say these things has occupied my mind to a large extent. One of it is how my Life after school will be like. Paying bills, feeling much more responsible for Alot if things especially your actions and so on, in short, being independent.

Right from childhood, I've always known how to be independent in everything I do and I must say it has really helped me a lot while n school. So many thoughts had crossed my mind on what my next step in life should be and I was opting on deciding on going faraway from home, where I'd be known by little or no one and maybe burn my bridges.

The thoughts of staying away from my family and friends for long haunted me and I remembered this song. And I told myself, yes, I can go far away but burning my bridges??? Would that be a wise decision to take????. Then the song gave me the answer I needed and that is to "Water my ground" if I want a green Grass.

I felt relieved getting my answers and at the same time vibing and chilling with the sing. It was really a beautiful experience. That's why I'd love to implore and remind us that life is too short to just make insensitive and irrational decisions. The ties and relationships you create now, will determine who you'd become wherever you go or find yourself.

Thanks for visiting my blog, Enjoy your time here 🤗.

LYRICS

The Grass Is Greener On The Other Side
That's What I Thought, Before I Took The Ride
I Burned My Bridges, So I'd Never Look Back
But, If I Had Known
The Life I Was Searching For, Was Looking Me Right In The Eye Oh
If I Had Known, The Life I Was Searching For, Was Already My Own
Ire N Be Nile Oo, Ire Ayo

Ire Ire Ire (Goodness, goodness, goodness)
Ire Ire Ayo (Goodness, goodness of Joy)
O Npe Mioo (Is calling out to me)
Oni Kin Ma Bo (Says I should come)
Oni Kin Ma Bo Nile (Says I should come home)
Ire (Goodness)

Ire Ire Ayo (Goodness, goodness, goodness)
O Npe Mioo (Is calling out to me)
Oni Kin Ma Bo (Says I should come)
Oni Kin Ma Bo Nile (Says I should come home)
Ire (Goodness)

The Grass Is Greener, Where You Water The Ground
That's What I Found, When I Took The Ride
I Realized The Mountain I've Been Climbing, Is Nothing But Sand
I Didn't Know I Already Had The Answer
No I Didn't Know
But, If I Had Known
The Life I Was Searching For
Was Looking Me Right In The Eye Ohh
If I Had Known
The Life I Was Searching For
Was Already My Own

Ire Ire Ire (Ire O)
Ire Ire Ayo, O Kpe Mi O (O Kpe Mi Oh Oh Oh)
O Ni Kin Ma Bo (O Ni Kin Ma Bo)
O Ni Kin Ma Bo (O Ni Kin Ma Bo)
Ire

Ire Ire Ire (Ire O)
Ire Ire Ayo, O Kpe Mi O (It's Calling Out To Me, Goodness, It's Calling Out To Me)
O Ni Kin Ma Bo (O Ni Kin Ma Bo)
O Ni Kin Ma Bo (Ire O)
Ire

Ire Ire Ire (Ire Ire O, Ire Ayo) (Goodness, goodness of Joy)
O Kpe Mi O (O Kpe Mi Kin Mabo) (Is calling out to me)
E Da Mi Sha Tokun Fe Si Mi O, Jen Kpada Sin Le (My creator lead my path, let me come back home)
Ma Je Sin won W'Aye, Maje (Do not let me wander away)
